carbonator

/kˈɑɹbənˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

A device that carries out carbonation.

Word Origin Carbonator is built on carbon, from Latin 'carbo' meaning coal or charcoal—so a carbonator is something that adds carbon or carbonation. The root 'carbo' comes from PIE *ker- 'to burn', which also gives us cremate (to burn) and hearth. The -ate suffix makes it a verb, and -or the agent. So a carbonator literally 'coals' your drink, giving it that fizz.
